Fantastic, Capt Yak is great!
We had a great time on this experience! Captain Yak is so knowledgeable of the wildlife and environment. We learned so much. Went at an easy pace, no rushing, and let the kids (12 and 11) go together in their own kayak. The mangroves were enjoyable to be immersed in. Highly recommend’

Dolphin Watching Fun!!
We were greeted so kindly and barely off the dock when we were up close and personal with several dolphins! Our crew knew just where to find them all along our journey to Shell Island! It was a beautiful day and a wonderful experience! I highly recommend the trip!

Worth every penny, great afternoon
Great afternoon, good exercise, went with regular kayaks for low tide- the right move- the mangrove islands and shell key were fun to explore, learned a lot, and had time to wander the beach too. Our guide, Claire, is very knowledgeable and patient, great guide- ask for Claire!

Great private charter for secluded beaches and dolphin watching.
Capt Mike was very accomodating and provided an excellent, personalized experience. My family never felt rushed as we moved thru the itinerary, and Mike was very informative when we had questions on local history or sites. 10/10 we will book w Capt. Mike next time we are in the area.

Great 3hr boat ride viewing dolphins and picking shells
Paul (in charge) was very personable and was always checking if you needed anything. Got close up to many dolphins and they slowed and stopped the boat to watch. Shell Key was a great stop for picking shells. Viewing the houses and boats on the way out and back in was worth the ride itself. All 5 of us enjoyed this trip and would do it again.

Sisters on the Sea under the Stars
Captain Paul’s cruise was well-timed and so much fun. I invited my two sisters. One of my sisters loves shells. She had her own bucket and filled it. While my other sister was fascinated by the Skyway Bridge. We all loved being on the water and gazing at the stars.

Excellent boat trip!
Captain Brady, Lou and Britney are friendly, fun and skilled. And the boat very nice, too.
We were informed of all the details prior to departure, what to expect during the trip (with historical insights from Lou) and suggestions for when we got to Egmont Key. Oh, and let's not forget that they accommodated our cooler and beach stuff; plus provided fantastic host services - Yes. You don't have to move from your comfy seats to get a drink!!
Great sparkling, wine and beer selections, too.
Well. We wanted a relaxing a fun time and that's exactly what we got!
Thanks to The Pelican Boats crew for an amazing experience!

No others compete with hospitality!
What had an amazing time and for 4hrs it was money well spent. We saw plenty of dolphins and wild life. I would skip snorkeling at the rocks and do it more at the island u see bigger fish that way and find a ton of the good shells doing so! The island was so much fun and wish we could spend all day there exploring and shell hunting. Highly recommend for all ages. There was a little girl in the group on the boat and captain let her drive the boat back. Little things like that show they care and they want everyone specially little ones to have a great time and memories they won’t forget. Will definitely be going back again next time we visit Florida.

Nick was wonderfull
Very accommodating, anyone could do it. Nick was wonderFULL, very patient and knowledgeable. This tour was not only a hit for our family visiting us, but was also a hit for our 10yro. A lot of stops. I love that he emphasized the importance of taking everything back that your brought and the importance of everything in the ecosystem.

A must do while visiting St. Pete
This is definitely a must do while you are visiting St.Pete. The crew was great, the water was beautiful, the sunset stunning, and there’s no other advantage to seeing St.Pete all lit up at night! And if you’re one of the lucky ones, you might spot a dolphin! Just a tip: The website says you are welcome to bring your own drinks & snacks. True. But if you prefer to travel light, there is an onboard bar.

Exceeded my expectations
HIGHLY recommend this tour. We meandered through neighborhoods and districts off the beaten path that I never would have explored on my own. Doug is great… easy going and very informative. We saw an interesting assortment of murals. Biking was very easy, don’t be afraid of that. Just do it!
